Hey mate, nice progress with the build. Quick off topic question about the rpf1's, did you have to do any body work to get them to fit? Rolling lip etc?

Hey mate, cheers.

No, none at all I might have to when the coilovers go in but we'll see. I am only running standard suspension with lower springs at the moment.

My coilovers are yet to be installed still.... even tho I haven't driven it often... when I do just makes me love it so much more!

hooooooooottttt

are your guards rolled?

Cheers mate, and not to my knowledge... I didn't roll them but when I first got the car I had Advan Model T5s on the car... so they might have rolled it before landing to Aus but yeah... not 100% sure... there are no tell tale signs of it.

nice stance......series 3 xenons on your wish list ? hehe

Hahaha they would only be a wish... I can't justify the money for them... ridiculous... lol.

I am leaning more towards track specing the GTR soon...

Looking good man. Headlights are looking a bit hazy but.

Get this stuff from Autobarn or wherever. Has worked an absolute treat on 3 33s

reallllly need to get in there with the sandpaper hard out. Post some up close hi def pics of the headlights if you want. Maybe they are doable or maybe they have other shit goin on.

Should take about half an hour each light.

Yeah my mates who do my detailing did it last time.. I think its a process I have to repeat a couple of times... I'm gonna get a paint correction in a couple of months most likely after I come back from the states because I got offered a shoot with the car. so we'll see how i go hahaha.

Coilovers are now in... Pays to have a AMG Mercedes Mechanic as a cousin who will help out his older cous haha.

Just have to tweak the dampening, add a couple sway bars and roll my guards before I go lower. The arse end just wants to hop, also found out why the standard suspension was so rough... the front two standard coilovers were STUFFED...

Finally got my guards rolled after a long stuff around with 3 of the mobile companies that do them....

I got them rolled by Mobile Guard Rolling, good work, nice bloke and he made the time to come to me to do it...

Cost me $150 for 2 rears where I was previously quoted $200.

Now I am hoping I can book my GTR in at Accurate Suspension to get it set up by Ken and then it's off to a Panel beater mate of a mate to get a paint correction.

then it's SHOOT TIME... with Mr Ben Birch and Mile High Films.

    • Yes there is a front and back insertion point on each side, each point is tubed with supports into the car and tied to the cage/ floor mount point
    • Is the jack stand system tied into the cage somehow? Upgrades look goooood 😍
    • Big updates, tons of work and $$$ 
    • it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes
